I've looked at both male and female fittings, and they seemed undistorted to me.
I'll remove and reinstall the hoses again this weekend, with a little pipe dope this time as you suggested. If still no success, then I guess I'll order the replacement hoses from Delta that you mentioned, though my existing hoses look pretty new.
Your point about the hoses being designed to withstand far greater pressures than 65#psi is a good one. I'll stick with the 20W-50 oil. I was grasping at straws there!
I was going to change the oil this weekend anyway, so maybe I'll detach the oil cooler from the car and dump its old oil out too, getting me closer to a "complete" oil change. Does anybody routinely dump the oil from the cooler (through the hoses maybe?) when they do an oil change?
